154 Exposure
What Shen Yin did not say was that her background was rather disreputable.
It was said that her mother was the eldest daughter of an important family in the business world. However, she was deceived by her playboy father and unknowingly became a third party in his marriage.
When her mother discovered the truth, she had just found out that she was pregnant.
In the past, she had ignored her family’s objections and fallen out with her parents. She had even cut ties with them to be with this man, but he had not told her that he was already married.
She could not stand this blow. After giving birth to Shen Yin, she took an overdose and committed suicide, leaving Shen Yin to be raised by her grandfather.
Shen Luo was his grandfather’s legitimate granddaughter, so she naturally could not stand that an outsider like Shen Yin had taken her grandfather’s love. In the past, she had bullied Shen Yin, ostracized her, and snatched away everything their grandfather bought for her.
After not seeing her for so many years, Shen Luo still had not changed. She still looked displeased to see Shen Yin.
She was the one who had tailed Shen Yin and Zou Sheng on their previous case.
Shen Yin knew that her existence in the Shen family was a mistake, so she had always been cautious.
She had not returned to the Shen family since her grandfather’s death. Now that she met Shen Luo again, she was no longer in the mood to tolerate her like before.
Cheng Huo knew that there must be more to this, but since Shen Yin did not want to tell him, he did not want to be annoying by pressing the matter. He smiled and changed the subject, asking about other things. “What do you usually like to do after work? Don’t tell me you’re so boring that you go home directly.”
Shen Yin smiled helplessly. She was really that boring.
However… Shen Yin’s eyes flashed. Seeing that Cheng Huo was obviously very interested in her, she was a little conflicted about whether to tell him that she already had a six-year-old son.
If she told him that she had a son, Cheng Huo might give up and stop pestering her. That would be a good thing. However, she did not know what Cheng Huo did in his and Lian Jing’s circle. She did not dare to mention Shen Nian’s existence, afraid that someone would hurt Shen Nian if they found out.
However, Shen Yin realized that even Lian’e, who could harm Shen Nian the most easily, knew about his existance. This matter was probably no longer a secret. After thinking about it, Shen Yin decided to be honest.
She cleared her throat and put down her chopsticks awkwardly.
Cheng Huo looked at her determined gaze calmly, waiting to hear what she had decided to say to him.
Before Shen Yin could speak, someone suddenly pushed open the door of their private room.
Shen Luo’s greedy gaze swept across Cheng Huo’s body before she glared at Shen Yin, who was looking grim. “Cousin, I know why you don’t want to see me, but I should clarify some things so that you don’t deceive innocent people.”
Shen Yin looked at her impatiently and swallowed the words she was about to say. She frowned. “Who asked you to come in? Didn’t you understand what the Manager said just now?”
Shen Luo puffed out her chest and looked at Shen Yin proudly. “Don’t use the Manager to threaten me. Even if I ‘m fired, I will tell him everything about you!”
“Sure.” Shen Yin leaned back in her chair and lazily picked up her wine glass. She smiled and said, “Since you’re so willing to serve me, you can do it for me.”
Shen Luo snorted coldly and treated Shen Yin’s attitude as an act.
She turned her and besottedly looked at Cheng Huo’s beautiful eyes. She was so nervous that she had to clench her fists and secretly gather up her courage before she could speak. “Sir, you definitely don’t know about my cousin’s past, right? If I told you that she was married and was divorced because she cheated and was caught red-handed, would you still be willing to date someone like her?”
Shen Yin stared at him without blinking. She also wanted to see his reaction.
He would probably just leave, right? After all, Lian Jing had the same reaction when he first heard the news.
After waiting for a long time, Shen Yin did not get the reaction she expected.
Cheng Huo batted his eyes and looked at Shen Yin mischievously. “What are you secretly looking forward to, Yin Yin?”
Shen Yin felt embarrassed that he had seen through her. She coughed softly and looked at Shen Luo with displeasure. Her eyes seemed to condemn Shen Luo for expressing herself so badly that she had not managed to drive Cheng Huo away.
Shen Luo blankly looked at Cheng Huo’s reaction. “You… aren’t you angry? She even hid such a thing from you. She’s lying to you!”
Cheng Huo’s cold gaze swept over her. “I didn’t chase you away just now because you’re Shen Yin’s cousin. Now that you’ve said your piece, will you leave on your own accord or should I throw you out?”
“You!” Shen Luo glared at him unreasonably. She gave Shen Yin a murderous glare. “You will definitely regret this!”
Shen Luo rushed out of the private room and slammed the door.
Shen Yin’s expression darkened, and her eyes were dark and gloomy. Who knew what she was thinking.
Cheng Huo leaned forward and placed one hand on her chair and the other on the table. He did not touch her, but he still confined her within his personal space He asked in a low voice, “What else do you have to say? You can might as well tell me everything.”
